Lectures, films, discussion, and writing will be used to explore women's experiences and the perspectives, theories, and critiques which come out of taking women into account. 305. Feminist Theories (4) A consideration of various feminist theories - that is explanations for gender hierarchies. The focus of course materials is on theories in the Western tradition, but includes theories developed in and about non-Western cultures as well.
